i take china as a great example. the chinese citizens even suspected of having a mental disability can be arbitrarily committed to institutions because chinese law offers almost no protections against involuntary civil commitment. moreover, beijing is considering a draft disability law that would permit indefinite involuntary detention, forced medication and forced labor of persons suspected of having a mental disability. obviously, this is in direct contravention of the cr pb. even though beijing has ratified it. i repeat that even though beijing has ratified the treaty. so while this convention has no mechanism, to force countries like china to respect disabled citizens, what it does do is allow leaders to falsely present themselves as forward leaning on disabled rights. just as they continue to run roughshod over such protections at home. supporters of this convention claim that ratifying it would allow our country to assume the moral high ground when it comes to addressing other gaps in disabilities rights. i wou

human rights violators wherever they might be, whether in russia or syria or sudan or north korea or china or any other country. in other words, the senate committee-approved bill wisely adopted a global magnitsky standard. the reasoning for this is sound. because while the mechanism of u.s. visa denial for human rights violators was inspired by a single case in a single nation, the principles that it seeks to advance are universal. this bipartisan committee bill, unlike the house-passed version of the magnitsky act that we will soon vote on, does not single out russian human rights violators for visa denial but would apply the visa denial mechanism to people from any country who violate important human rights standards. the united states should be clear and firm in its commitment to protecting human rights. wherever the violation occur. and to holding those who violate those rights accountable to the best of our ability. including denying them visas to come to our country. human rights do not end at the borders of russia and anyone who violates those standards as so many did so blatantly
